Old Cemetery

This is Sand Hill Cemetery in Columbus, IN. Last burial was 1922. There are folks born in the 1770's buried there as well as Civil War vets. This had some very unique markers until vandals toppled them a couple months ago. These photos are being used to raise money for the restoration and repair of the markers.

thank you for your efforts. If you take photos of the vandalized civil war veterans sites and let any area civill war renactors grouips know about it, not only should you be able to raise the funds, you will probable get the groups participation in rededicating ceromonies. as for the vandals, we need to import caning from singapore.

In the Upper two photos the sky is way darker than the tree and headstones. I have always been intrigued by this effect assuming that a storm was brewing back there while the sun was diving behind the horizon behind the photographer. Super mood shots , perfectly focused and balanced. thanx for sharing. :thumbup:

I'd love to see some of the grave stones shot from a shorter distance.

My wife and I spend a few days a week doing Volunteer work for a group called Find A Grave if you are interested they need a few hundred people from all over to take photos of head stones on request from others looking for their lost family that are buried all over our fine country. We had a request from a person in Ireland for several photos and we went to the grave yard and found these graves for him so he can add the pictures to his Genealogy the pay is low and the gratification is high we do it on our dime which I guess would turn a lot of people off but others it is like an addiction. Any way I am glad to see others find a few seconds of their time to donate to the long ago past. Thank You!!!! FindAGrave.com is where you can sign up for this program who knows maybe you have relatives in a far away place that you will never get to and someone will do you the favor in return.

I really like the infrareds. My family has an old cemetery in SC, and we've had some vandalism too. Amazing how some people get their kicks. :evil:

I love old cemeteries. In comparison, our Florida cemeteries are new, the older ones established in the late 1800's. There are two I visit a couple of times a year, one in St. Petersburg ( the Greenwood Cemetary) and the other in Tampa (Old City Cemetary near Ybor City, a ompsite of several). We also visit cemeteries in any city we visit as there is much a Cemetary will tell you about the area.
